If that article is correct Wildhack should be removed from his office today.

Are you kidding me?

So not only did we hire the wrong guy by pretending JB was Thanos, but then we did this?

Holy hell. If this is remotely close to the correct assumptions that is terrible.

This bad.

So he was given a SEVEN year contract? Not the 5 years previously reported? Why?

 

[MadNY3]

There is no way Red has a 13 million buyout unless that's in pesos.

 

[Cuse2023]

I’m not sure of exact figures, but the buyout money is already secured.

He gone…

 

[Newhouser]

This can't be true - or there is a buy out or something. Seriously this can't be true.

 

[cusefan88]

Syracuse doesn't publicly reveal any contract terms so this is pure speculation. Also I've never heard of a contract that goes from 1.8m to 3m without performance clauses that dictate it.

So personally I call BS on this.

Probably the standard length of contract for a head coach nowadays. Shouldn't mean anything as far as terminating him. Could have a clause in there that if he fails to make the NCAAT that so and so could happen.

It doesn't matter that the money is already secured, it's how much.

I don't think that $13M figure is right, but even if it's based off base salary but based on a SEVEN year contract, that is outrageous.

 

[oldpinepoint]

Why would anyone give a first time head coach with no experience a 7 year deal. Paying him $3mm is just awful

 

[Ghost]

Where was he gonna go if we didn't give him the job? RIT? No way we gave him more than three 5 years.

I believe the "source" of that is a spoof on account twitter that someone took seriously.

Please god be correct about this.

 

[djorange1989]

Can’t be.. please? Maybe the buyout is much smaller. Why would you sign a guy with no HC experience to a 7 year deal? Who was after Red, Chicago State?

 

[rrlbees]

we did not give red a 7-year contract. i don't think anyone at su has ever had a 7-year contract. but the internet...

Yeah - I mean, the "account" faked a Mike Waters quote and has a thousand followers.

 

[HyattsCuse]

Not giving this any credence. No way it’s true.

I was happy to read we have the buyout $$$ ready to go though!

 

[HRE Otto IV]

Based on his resume he shouldn't have gotten an interview. But if you are going to hire him then it shouldn't have been more than 4 years tops at $2M per. We should have gotten a alumni discount even if he was a good coach.

It continues to amaze me how these schools get run over by agents.

 

[littlereg]

As someone who’s been obviously very down on our program, this article is completely BS.

 

[Bulldog04]

Completely false. It says in the article “contract terms are not available” so this whole thing is nonsense. He signed a 5 year deal. He had small escalators in pay from the $1.8m he started with. Those are facts

The only verified number in that article is the 1.7m base salary for Autry in 2023. The rest is speculation.

Anything is possible, but I find it very hard to believe that he was given a 7 year contract. I'd also guess - no inside info here - that his buyout clause is deescalating each year of the contract on or around mid-March. Another reason the university will not fire him in season.

 

[Orangezoo]

So the writer assumed 3 million and assumed 4 more years on the contract and multiplied with adding an extra million to get the made up buyout number.

Pathetic clickbait that shouldn’t be published.

If anyone bothered to click the link he uses as source (tax filings) it bounces back to Chris Carlson's syracuse.com article about Dino Babers from May 2025 .
